Tho Supreme Court has given decision Of
more than ordinary importance in the case Of
Edward F. Billiard against the Des Moinos
and Fort Dodge Railroad company ct a. In
error to the Supreme Court of Iowa. This
litigation arises out Of what is known as the
"Des Moines river land grab" and involves
title to lands lying along that river above Rae
coon Fork. The title OF plaintiff Billiard rests
upon settlements upon odd sections of land
within five miles of the river which were re-
served from sale or pre- emption at the time
the settlements were made. The court holds
that the lands in controversy were st the time
plaintiff pre-empted and settled upon them
effectually Withdrawn from settlement, sale or
presumption, by orders Of the department,
and that by that withdrawal the lands were
reserved for another purpose, to which they
were ultimately appropriated by act Of Con-
gress of 1862, and no title could be initiated or
established by plaintiff, because the land de-
partment had no right to grant it The judy

The Chicago Strike and Lockout.

The Chicago Strike and Lockout.
In Chicago, the chief seat Of trade dis
turbances in this country, strike OF the
bricklayers has been answered by lockout
on the part Of their employers. As imme-
diate results not only are many thousands
of workingmen threatened with loss OF en-
ployment, but great business interests in
timately associated with the city's welfare
are endangered. In its origin the quarrel
was of comparatively small moment.
The bricklayers demanded that pay
day be changed from Tuesday to
Saturday, and that slight advance
be made in wages, threatening general
strike il their demands should not be COM
piled with. Instead of yielding, the Mas
ter Builders Association responded with q
circular ordering complete suspension OF
work. 1t is estimated that by this COM
bined movement of strike and lockout no
fewer than $4,000 workingmen will be
thrown out Of employment. Moreover, as
is usual in such cases, among the worst
sufferers will be multitudes Of families
whose heads have not had the slightest
share in originating the conflict.
In behalf of the master builders the
claim is made that this extreme measure OF
a lockout was taken in self defense. The
suspension of business operations in the
most favorable season of the year for
building will be accompanied by great
losses, and for this reason the builders say
they would not have resorted to lockout
except from the necessity of resisting arro-
giant dictation on the part of their en-
ployes. To the Bricklayers' Association
belong nearly all the bricklayers and ma.
sons of Chicago. 1t is local guild
that has no connection with either
of the national organizations of Ia
Dor. Strange workingmen are not ad-
mitted to the association, and the GER
tiicates of membership of other labor
unions are not recognized. Resident
masons and bricklayers, whether belong
ing to the organization or not, must pay
into its treasury an initiation fee of $50
for the privilege of working at the high
wages paid in Chicago. There are other
rules Of the association under which the
master builders have chafed, and when the
last demand was made upon them they de-
termined upon resistance.
This is the excuse given by the master
builders Of Chicago for a lockout which. il
continued for the season, must be attended
by the most serious consequences.

Inllana's Big Gas Boom.

The discovery Of natural gas in Indiana,
at various and distant points with varying
pressures, indicates multiplicity of reser-
voirs that are but feebly connected with
one another, if, indeed, they be connected
at all. The first we'll struck in Indiana has
been giving out 100000 cubic feet per
day, and since then two other wells have
been bored in the immediate vicinity, from
which still greater volumes are obtained.
Well known as No. 9, which was struck on
the 3ist OF November, has been flowing
ever since at rate of 100000 cubic feet
per day. It is GIG feet inches deem.
Well No. 8 is 912 feet deep, and flows
1000, 600 cubic feet per day. Manufactur-
ing enterprises will be transplanted to that
locality as soon as possible.

West Virginia, which has long been
noted for its back-eounty tragedies and
moonshiners. now has the additional dis
tinction Of having three SenatOrs-Kenna,
who was elected in 1888; Lucas, who was
appointed al interim by the Governor after
the Legislature failed to make a choice,
and Faulkner, who was yesterday elected
for the term expiring in 1898. Lucas Is
likely to contest Faulkner's election on
the ground of irregularity, and it is prob
able that Governor Wilson may refuse
Faulkner his certificate. Senator Ed

then have the duty of deciding the point,
and this committee never appears sc
uniquely as when gravely splitting hairs
and quibbling over legal technicalities.
PittsbWg Post, Dem.
West Virginia people who are in Wash

election of Judge Faulkner rs United

in that State. It's not known yet whether
it will be possible to bring about an AMIGA.
BILE arrangement between Faulkner and
Lucas to prevent contest before the
Senate, but there is great hope that some
way will be found before Congress reassem
bles to accomplish this desirable end.
Faulkner, personally, iseXtremely popular
in the State, and there are very few OF the
Democratic leaders more generally liked
than he He has never held any Other
official position, except his present seat on

The Sldir Tribune, a good Republican
paper says of the Minear bribery investiga-
ton:
II there has been anything developed in
the Miuear investigation tending to prove
bribery no one has been able TO detect it,.
IL is generally the case that these inyrsti-
cations start Oft with boom and end a
lizzle They are usually the result OfOyer
zeal on the part OF some eNCitable and IN
experienced enthusiast The rot of witness
Re"er is so improbable that it is not even
entertaining and would he OF no interest
whatever to the readers OF this paper The
only portion that could he OF any sort OF
interest Is his confession that he stole the
ScOield- COwden letter from Senator Mi
near'S secretary. What this has Ia
do with the investigation for bribery
of a member Ofthe Legislature is not appa-
rent. No connection between this and
bribery has been shown. The witness
crowned his nonsense with the statement
that he had been informed that Dawson,
FlOurnOy and Morris were purCh0Seable
and that from their appearance he would
not fear to approach them with such q
proposition. OF course some one was i'm
posing upon the witness in this regard.
Dawson is the father Of the investigation,
FlournOy is one Of the committee, and
Morris Is like CAESARS wife. This was the
vericst rot of course, and very materially
increased the general opinion that there
was nothing IN the charge and nothing was
